Water Reflection Distortion

Within the cheers of loud
Like bullets, they fell to stage, dreams had splattered all around this page
Last thing you could see was
The screen playing, repeating, kept rewinding without ever stopping

All those sounds that you always play
Ask about loneliness, So you’re lonely now, would you say?
Asking the shadows that trail me
On a sleepless night, whispering what I wonder
To all the ghosts ’round a fire, who can’t slumber
“Hey, you know, give me your hands, fingers, soI know you’re here”

With a stratocaster, I stomped the pedal faster
Yelling at my true self, all of what I feel
Those feelings dropped like bombs in the song that tells me I don’t exist!
Now come, play the scales right, strike the chords tonight
Drown out all the noise in the stage lights
Your Marshall overflows, nothing new, this time with a phrase of sorrow too,
But those words still can’t stop my chest from tightening

Having fallen far away
It’s all become distorted, and the melody collapsed on itself
Hiding all my weaknesses
The usual chopped off riff was saying “I know”, it can only lament

I don’t know if I can live if you’re not here anymore
But I know I’m just tweeting along to a blank score
No god would descend to me
A lingering sound of a ringing code wraps
Around as the night fades into dawn in relapse
“Hey, you know, this really has become your only reality.”

Ah, swirling ’round in the air, at the end of despair
Can I really find what all this means to me?
I picked it up in the dark, when I couldn’t see, ’cause it sounded of you to a degree
For sure, there’s nothing else that I, can say is truly mine
Except this song you would want to hear, until you hear it I’ll hold it dear
No one can steal this voice of mine

All the faceless listeners play along,
More so, more so, come up with cheering songs
Even if I blocked it out with both my hands
The ringing in my ears will not forgive me.

Questions of the shadows, fell right from their gallows
Whether it’s my weakness or not, the outcome’s the same
Only the sounds these distortions make
From these water reflections, can find the power in myself to break them away

With a stratocaster, I stomped the pedal faster
Yelling at my true self, all of what I feel
Those feelings dropped like bombs in the song that tell me I don’t exist!
Now come, play the scales right, strike the chords tonight
Drown out all the noise in the stage lights
It flowed from the pedal distortedly, the price of love flowing all around
Our proof that you are here, existing
